Industrial automation thrives on precision. However, when you are standardising legacy automation panels that feature proprietary sequence cycle requirements, off-the-shelf components often fall short. Upgrading these intricate systems demands specialised engineering and exact temporal logic to ensure safety, efficiency, and seamless operation.
This is where Custom Timing Relay Solutions come into play. By integrating bespoke timing mechanisms into your infrastructure, you can bridge the gap between ageing legacy panels and modern performance expectations without requiring a complete system overhaul.

Custom Products: You Dream It Up, We'll Get It Done
When dealing with highly specific industrial use-cases, a one-size-fits-all approach simply does not work. A multitude of options, combined with in-house engineering and direct communication throughout development and testing, ensures success for even the most innovative or specialised controls.
At Access Control Sales, the philosophy is straightforward: if you can dream it up, we will get it done. By combining features, functions, parameters, and options from an extensive product line such as the highly adaptable Series MC micro-controller relays you receive a one-of-a-kind solution that meets your needs perfectly. This level of customisation sets your product apart, allowing you to programme unique time delays and operational logic into your equipment seamlessly.
Rigorous quality standards are enforced at every step. From the initial development and prototype stages to final approval, every custom timing relay undergoes 100% testing before shipping. This guarantees that your proprietary automation sequencing operates flawlessly under the high-pressure demands of the factory floor.

Overcoming Complex Sequencing Challenges
Proprietary automation cycles often involve intricate dependencies where one mechanical process must finish exactly before another begins. Standard, off-the-shelf timers frequently lack the nuanced parameters required to manage these transitions smoothly. By opting for a tailored timing relay, engineers can programme highly specific logic that eliminates overlapping sequences and reduces unnecessary wear and tear on machinery.
This targeted approach prevents the costly downtimes associated with mismatched components, ensuring that legacy systems operate with maximum efficiency. Furthermore, upgrading to these specialised components empowers your maintenance team to troubleshoot issues significantly faster. This proactive strategy ultimately safeguards your entire investment and boosts overall production yields almost immediately.
Standardising Legacy Automation Panels
Standardising legacy automation panels with proprietary sequence cycle requirements demands components that offer exact reproducibility and robust electrical protection. Custom timing relays provide the temporal control necessary to prevent voltage drops, manage staggered motor starts, and execute complex sequencing without triggering system faults.
When you opt for a tailored timing relay solution, your facility benefits from several critical advantages:
- Microprocessor Accuracy: Utilising advanced digital CMOS technology ensures exact timing intervals and excellent repeatability (typically ±0.1%), which is essential for proprietary sequences that require absolute precision.
- Tailored Configurations: Whether you need specific voltage inputs (like 120VAC), unique output ratings up to 20 amps, or specialised timing modes (such as Single Shot on Make), customised units can be engineered to fit the exact footprint of your existing panels.
- Environmental Resilience: Custom relays are encapsulated for protection and designed to operate across broad temperature ranges (from -25°C to +65°C), ensuring long-term durability even in demanding manufacturing environments.
Leveraging Advanced Micro-Controller Technology
Modern custom relays utilise state-of-the-art digital micro-controller technology to deliver unparalleled precision. Unlike older mechanical timers that degrade over time, these solid-state solutions offer an impressive mechanical life expectancy of up to 10 million operations. Furthermore, high-power output relays capable of handling substantial loads allow for direct control of heavier industrial equipment without the need for additional contactors. This streamlines your automation panel, saves valuable cabinet space, and provides a highly dependable control hub for your systems.
Maximising Protection in Harsh Environments
Industrial automation panels are frequently subjected to punishing conditions, including extreme temperature fluctuations and severe electrical noise. Bespoke timing solutions are specially engineered to withstand these environmental stressors. Through robust encapsulation and integrated transient protection, these custom relays shield delicate internal circuitry from unexpected voltage spikes and mechanical vibrations. This rigour in design guarantees that your proprietary sequencing remains completely uninterrupted, even in the harshest manufacturing facilities.
Streamlining the Prototyping Phase
Developing a bespoke industrial solution might sound time-consuming, but partnering with the right engineering experts accelerates the journey from concept to installation. The custom creation process involves direct communication during the initial design phase, followed by rapid prototyping and rigorous testing. This collaborative development cycle ensures that the final product aligns perfectly with your legacy panel requirements before full-scale production begins, saving both time and resources.
Partnering with the Right Manufacturers
The success of any custom automation project hinges on the quality of the components used. Access Control Sales has selected our suppliers based on decades of experience in the industrial electronics sector. The primary goal is to provide a wide variety of applications while always maintaining uncompromising high quality and consistency.
